Installed mine. I think I would have preferred to lower the back of the seat rather than raise the front. The angle of the seat bottom is now perfect though. I won't be taking it out.

I would love to drop it down an inch or so. Riding position in here is too high for me.
I completely agree. I'm 6'2" and my head feels way closer to the ceiling than it did in my JK. The height of the seat and the perceived tilt forward are really my only complaints about the vehicle. I'd install the Jackers, but it would make the height issue slightly worse.

I'm 6'3" and I feel like the spacer kit has leaned me back further and don't feel as close to hitting my head when I had to sit up so straight.

I just had to drive the van for a while today. At that point I realized just how high the JT seat is. Like the position is really high.

That is interesting I might need to try it out. Legs feel fin with the slight tilt as well?

I like the extra thigh support.

Installed mine yesterday.....GREAT addition! So much more comfortable. I’m 6’2-6’3 and I can actually be comfortable without being on the last stop! The kit actually creates a little more leg room due to the geometry. May be the best add on to date!

I have tried this kit and it just doesn't work for me. Plus, my ol ball and chain can't touch the pedals with the kit installed. If I was able to cut maybe 1/3 of it off, it would probably be good for me. So on that note if anyone wants to buy my kit I will sale it for $60 and ship it to you.

Yup it didn't work for me either and I had to take it off, I did reach out to desert does it and Steve said that he will be working on a shorter version possibly in Nov or Dec. I requested for half of the current height.

Did he offer to refund you anything for at least trying the product?

I realize that this is a very old post, but do you still have these lying around?
